If not you might be able to grab the source from php's home site and have at it. It's a shame that nobody has thought to add the release candidates as a separate port so that if this sort of problem arises things can be rectified. Of course they might argue, that's what backing up your system is all about. Or don't do RC unless you investigate its pitfalls first. On another note, and this might save your butt in the future, get the portupgrade package installed. It has the option of creating a package out of what you are about to upgrade/deinstall (or something like that). Don't know how slick it works but it's there. Gads, I just noticed that I have RC1.
